Recruiting studies
- NCT06231342Recruiting
Rotating breathing tube before insertion study

Finding the Right Breathing Tube Size for Children with Heart Surgery
This study compares two methods for choosing the correct size of breathing tube (endotracheal tube) for children undergoing heart surgery. Researchers will test whether measuring the airway with ultrasound helps pick a better-fitting tube than using age-based formulas alone.
Cairo, AbbasseyaAges 3 months–8 years - NCT06939361Enrolling by invitation
Tube size study during emergency breathing tube placement
This trial compares different sizes of breathing tubes used in emergencies to see which works best. It helps doctors choose the right tube for patients who need help breathing.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06307392Recruiting
Bougie versus tube for first-attempt breathing tube success
This trial compares two methods of placing a breathing tube during a medical emergency outside the hospital: using a flexible device called a bougie versus just the tube alone. It aims to see which method is more successful on the first try.
Nantes, Loire AtlantiqueAges 18 years+ - NCT07511998Enrolling by invitation
Comparing endotracheal tube sizes to reduce sore throat after surgery
This study compares different sizes of a specialized breathing tube (endotracheal tube) used during surgery to see which size causes less sore throat afterward. If you're having elective surgery under general anesthesia, this trial may help reduce your post-surgery discomfort.
Daegu, DaeguAges 20–70 - NCT03812718Recruiting
Breathing tube vs throat airway during gallbladder surgery
This trial compares two ways of managing your breathing while you are under anesthesia for elective laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It aims to see which option needs less anesthesia and is safer and easier to use for patients like you.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18–65 - NCT06950957Recruiting
Comparing two airway devices for septoplasty
This trial compares a video laryngeal mask with a breathing tube during septoplasty (nose surgery) to see which works better. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join.
Samsun, IlkadimAges 18–65 - NCT07638579Enrolling by invitation
Nerve monitoring methods during thyroid and parathyroid surgery
This study compares two ways to monitor nerves during thyroid or parathyroid surgery to see which method works better. During surgery, doctors use electrical sensors to make sure they don't accidentally damage important nerves in your neck.
ThessalonikiAges Any age - NCT07051980RecruitingPhase 2
Oxygen through a tube above the voice box for sedated ERCP
This study tests a new way to deliver oxygen during a sedated ERCP, using a thin tube placed above the voice box instead of a breathing tube. It aims to see if this method is safe and practical for people having this procedure.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06767696Recruiting
Neck position and breathing tube pressure in children
This study checks if tilting a child's head back during surgery changes the pressure in the breathing tube. It helps doctors make sure children's airways stay safe during tonsil or adenoid removal.
Ankara, KeçiörenAges 2–18 - NCT07204990Recruiting
Swapping breathing tubes before waking for safer recovery
This study looks at whether replacing a breathing tube (endotracheal tube) with a mask-like device (laryngeal mask airway) before the child wakes up from anesthesia can make recovery smoother and safer.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges birth–16 years - NCT05429125Recruiting
Two tools to help place a breathing tube
This trial compares two different tools used to place a breathing tube in patients who are expected to have a difficult airway, using a video camera (videolaryngoscopy). It may help doctors choose the safer or easier tool for first-attempt tube placement.
Santiago de Compostela, A CoruñaAges 18–90 - NCT07287293Recruiting
Suctioning vs no suctioning when waking from anesthesia
This trial compares two ways of managing your breathing tube when you wake up from general anesthesia: suctioning the tube or not. It aims to see which method is more comfortable and safer for you after surgery.
Samut SakhonAges 18 years+ - NCT06692400Recruiting
Suctioning, pain, and blood markers in intubated patients
This study looks at how routine suctioning of the breathing tube affects pain levels and certain substances in the blood in adults who are on a breathing machine for serious infections like flu, pneumonia, COVID, or sepsis. It may help doctors better understand and manage your comfort during this procedure.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07709390RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Lidocaine gel on breathing tube for surgery
This trial tests whether putting lidocaine gel on the breathing tube before surgery can reduce post-operative sore throat and coughing. It aims to make recovery more comfortable for patients having general anesthesia.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–90 - NCT07678086Recruiting
Breathing tube pressure and sore throat in children's appendix surgery
This trial tests whether carefully managing the pressure in the breathing tube during surgery can help prevent a sore throat in children after they have their appendix removed by keyhole surgery. It may help your child have a more comfortable recovery.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 6–18 - NCT05989880Recruiting
Testing a new breathing tube in elective surgeries
This trial tests a new device called SafeLM that helps you breathe during surgery. It may be used instead of a standard breathing tube for people having planned surgery with general anesthesia.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07555080Recruiting
Airway tubes and stomach fullness in children undergoing surgery
This study compares how much air enters the stomach during surgery when using three different breathing tubes in children ages 1–10. The goal is to understand which tube design is safest and causes the least stomach bloating during anesthesia.
IstanbulAges 1–10 - NCT06738875Recruiting
Cuff pressure changes in weight loss surgery
This study looks at how the pressure in the breathing tube changes during weight loss surgery. It aims to help make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
Kayapınar, Di̇yarbakirAges 18–70 - NCT07414472Recruiting
Can breathing tube leak predict stridor in children?
This study monitors air leaks around a child's breathing tube to see if it can help predict stridor (noisy breathing) after the tube is removed. If you have a child aged 0–16 who has been on a breathing tube for at least 6 hours, they may be eligible.
Antwerp, AntwerpAges Up to 16 years - NCT06832553Recruiting
